 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey
I want to meet my dad in Zermatt next week for the day (I live in Aosta) but rather than drive over two hours (and the tolls) I thought I'd go from Cervinia. Can someone please tell me roughly how long it takes to get from Cervinia over to Zermatt, and also how long it takes to get back/roughly what time I'd want to leave Zermatt.
Also saw something in an old thread here about the Cervinia lift pass not working on the Zermatt side until 11am, is that correct?
Thanks!

@moseyp, when we went to Zermatt 3 out of the 6 days we were skiing, the lifts (which allowed you to come cross over) were closed all day due to high winds.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It takes about 45 mins going and and hour coming back.
Make sure the weather forecast is good especially with regards to wind speed

@NickyJ, wow, how much warning did you get before they shut the lifts?
Thanks @red 27

@moseyp, I was in Cervinia last week and the lifts were shut by the wind all day. I have been there when they were shut in the afternoon stranding people. On that occasion the stranded started to smash up the lift and they opened it!

@NickyJ, @jbob, thanks, I guess I'll have to make a call on the day and just hope I don't get stuck over there...

@moseyp, Lifts over to Zermatt from Cervinia are often closed due to high winds but next week (so far!) winds are forecast to be light.

@moseyp, keep an eye on the digital display boards above the lifts. When we were there a couple of years back they closed the cable car up from Trockener Steg at 2.30pm most days for some reason.

Thanks @hammerite, @tessaventer
Anyone know if the Cervinia lift pass works in Zermatt before 11am? That might be a bit annoying if I get there at 10 ish and can't use lifts for an hour

@moseyp, can't imagine there would be a time restriction. Those who have got stuck in Zermatt for the night would have to use the lifts early on!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Zermatt pass works in Cervinia from before 10am for cert, cannot see the reverse not being true.
